Oh, a positive City article. I'll give it a chance.

I'll read on......

Liverpool are the only ones holding a candle to the champions designate, though they do not have a Gulf state’s wealth underpinning them. City did not even feel the need to make much of the fact that they overtook Manchester United’s annual commercial revenues for the first time last week.

The old Skool Hacks down in London just love Liverpool don't they. The enduring candle lit romance of a club that isn't 'underpinned by a Gulf state's wealth'.

the romance of a Wall Street hedge fund….

Ah, the narrative has changed after one home win against Brentford from City too far ahead spoiling football to Liverpool can catch us heavy metal football amazing.

8pts ahead isn't game over and I don't think any of us thought it was. Let the media do their thing for now, they'll get fed up again the moment Liverpool drop points.

Funny how yooman rights only comes into it when we’re talking about brown people.

Imagine if the USA happened to be in the Middle East with their record of institutional racism, police brutality, state corruption, conservative religious fanaticism, national obsession with weapons, a recent president who tried to incite a coup after he was voted out, a history of intelligence services dark ops kidnap and torture on foreign soil, etc etc

Would American owners been tarred with the same brush? Probably.

The “oil money” “gulf state” tropes are lazy racist slurs and they need calling out as such.

Take a bow Herbert you fucking prick, great use of candle in that article.

Garth Crook's team of the week.
Comment in Chelsea game just before we scored:

"At this point in the match there was precious little difference between the teams and for my money a draw would have been a very fair result"

Really???
Chelsea had one shot on target the whole game!!

Also how does the Aston Villa player, Jacob Ramsey not get in his team but Coutinho, who was only on for 22 mins, gets in the team. Crazy stuff.

 

[Kinkys Left Foot]

Not crazy, merely contrived.
I personally have no interest in a team dreamt up by a two bit journalist who was a two bit player.

Has he only started this season having a pop?

Not early but late to the bitter party.

No he’s been at it for a while. Redshirts lover and big mate of Delooney

I think it’s still 11points, they’ve not won their game in hand yet.

You know why.

Oh dear, how sad, never mind.
But he can always stick to the League of Ireland or those weird Gaelic sports rather than football in a foreign country.

That's what annoys me. The facilities in Ireland are so bad that any half decent kid would sign for a Scottish lower league club before staying at home. You would think he would save save his outrage for that state of affairs, but he probably prefers following Liverpool and supporting whoever the opposition is against England.
